Abstract (en)

Systems and methods for using hierarchical tags to create a computer-generated animation are provided. The hierarchical tags may be used to organize, identify, and select animation assets in order to configure animation parameters used to render a computer-generated image. The hierarchical tags may be used to display representations of animation assets for selection. A hierarchy based on the hierarchical tags may be represented by a tree structure. The hierarchical tags may be used as part of a rule to partition animation assets. In this way, the hierarchical tags may advantageously be used to identify, organize, and select animation assets and perform animation processes.
